300 wsm 185 Juggernaut

[tom]

Ryan, yes. Also shot 16 and it didn't check as many boxes for me.

Follow up this morning in some conditions, entertained going back to bed when I stepped out this morning, as it was breezy already. But I wanted another day with it before next weekends matches. It held charge, but definitely jumped up in velocity.



This one is a great example of how important ES isn't lol.

Tom, are you still playing with the 30 prick? I’m interested to know if it ended up too small or not for the 200gn bullets.

It did for running 200ish bullets in the 2850 node. It did it, but then gave up at 4 fired with too much web expansion and got clickers.

I can’t say that I’m surprised. Do you think it’ll do anything good with the 185 juggernaut? It’s just such an attractive size and capacity - maybe I just need to get a barrel coming for it…

Probably so. Holler if you need brass, I held back the 300 in the middle of the sort for after I learned on and ruined the ends lol.

I'd say @Jet figured his out lol!

I took my 80 round barrel down to deep creek also. The Friday seating ladder in my typical jump zone for my bullet looked good. The Saturday target spit 1 bad low shot to ruin a target, but Sunday she did respectable. I preloaded at 63.835gr h4350, and it sped up yet again, so will have to come back to powder. It's all pointless sort of since eventually this 200 count will all be fire formed, and I'll have to start over lol.

I shot two separate WSMs in HG this past weekend. My VT204s shot smaller then the 185s. I need to tinker with the 185s some more

The adg shoots pretty decent, with the occasional dumb shot while fire forming. Was out today to see if I could manipulate my 201 into doing better or worse with some meplat work. Fire forming the last of my brass in the low node this time. A heads up, you will want your rifle in hand, and will likely have to bump the longer cases. It wasn't so hot in that dimension and needed corrected.

Formed brass is half decent as well. A seating ladder this morning at Deep Creek before the match.

Are you shooting your 300WSM at D.C this weekend with your bullets or the 185 Juggs Tom?
